A dramatic chapter of the Menendez saga continues as Lyle Menendez prepares for his parole hearing, just a day after his brother Erik was denied release over repeated misconduct.
After 36 years behind bars, both brothers were made eligible for parole in May when a California judge resentenced them from life without parole to 50 years to life, owing to their ages at the time of the killings. Erik's hearing took place on 21 August 2025, and Lyle's is scheduled for 22 August 2025.
